The Head of the Money Laundering Directory, Gent Gazheli, says that the
Court and the Prosecution investigate less than they should, based on
the number of reports.
In the past four years, only 22 reports have been sent at the Supreme Court from 231 in total. The most flagrant case for Gazheli is that the number of sentences given in 22 years over embezzlement charges is inconsiderable. Many problems were identified during the annual report of the Parliamentary Commission of National Security.
“I want to appeal the Albanian Prosecution to raise more awareness about this fact. Embezzlement is a crime that is punished. The information given by our institution has not been taken under consideration. This is shown by the missing data in their archives, which we have sent in the past. The request letters are delayed and they specify only the generalities of the people under investigation. Without giving any details about the other generalities that might have been used without sending the fingerprints of suspects. It is a known facts that criminals use various generalities”, Gazheli declared.
The Money Laundering Directory has referred to 462 cases during 2014. There have been 65 seizing orders, which mount up to 18 million EUR. According to Gazheli, this amount in 2014 only is bigger than from 2009 to 2013.
